Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
This template uses Lua:

This template may be included on talk pages or editnotices to alert other editors that the associated article is written in Hiberno-English. Usually, the article either has evolved using predominantly this variety or has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation that uses this variety.

Talk page usage

To use this template on an article's talk page, place {{Hiberno-English}} near the top of the talk page. This produces the following:

This page is written in Hiberno-English, which uses the same spelling as British English: colour, realise, travelled. Some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Except that, for this and the smaller version, rather than "This template", on an article talk page, it would say, "This article"; on a draft talk page it would say "This page".

A smaller version is also available, by typing {{Hiberno-English|small=yes}}. This looks like this:

This page is written in Hiberno-English, which uses the same spelling as British English: colour, realise, travelled. Some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Placing this template will also add the page to Category:Misplaced Pages articles that use Hiberno-English. Additional options of |Oxford= for Oxford spelling, and |IUPAC= for IUPAC spelling, exist.

Editnotice usage

To use this template on an article's editnotice, {{Hiberno-English|form=editnotice}} is placed (without |form=editnotice if the template name ends with "editnotice") on the editnotice template. This produces the following:


This page is written in Hiberno-English, which uses the same spelling as British English: colour, realise, travelled. Some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

.

All users can create editnotices for their user and talk pages but only administrators and template editors can create or edit editnotices in other namespaces. Thus, to request this template be added to an article or other page in a restricted namespace, you can make your request at its talk page, using the template {{Edit template-protected}}.

An example talk page request you might emulate appears below:

{{Edit_template-protected}}
Please create an ] for the article, placing in it the template <nowiki>{{Hiberno-English|form=editnotice}}</nowiki> Thank you--~~~~

Variants

This template should have a "Use X English" counterpart from Category:Use English templates that can be placed on the article itself to indicate the English variant used and assist with scripts and bots that normalize spelling. See the below table.
